Are you hiring it out or doing it yourself.The cost of doing it yourself is a couple of cinder blocks and cement.

That is the job they are hired to do.

get a paying job in the industry and save.. real estate is not an industry or job that you can do without resources of a financial nature .but you can get hired on to do many jobs in and around real estate and earn while you learn.
